A husband and wife who combine storytelling with traditional Celtic music will headline the annual StoryFusion storytelling festival Friday through Sunday at Northampton Community College.

Jennings & Ponder of Vermont — Tim Jennings and Leanne Ponder — will present traditional world folktales interwoven with traditional music they play on Celtic harp and English concertina. The pair has won Parents' Choice and American Library Association awards for their CDs.

They will perform concerts and lead workshops Friday and Saturday. They also will give a free children's performance at 10 a.m. Friday.

At the 7:30 p.m. Friday concert, Jennings & Ponder will perform olio- (or group)-style with Lehigh Valley Storytelling Guild members Lynn Ruehlmann, Bernie Libster, Robin Reichert and Judy England-McCarthy, as well as Allentown teen Sasha Cheers, winner of the Pennsylvania Youth Storytelling Showcase. At 7:30 p.m. Saturday local storyteller Mary Wright will open for the duo.

The weekend includes other workshops, an open mike and a free 10 a.m. Sunday performance of sacred stories led by Bob Heffelfinger.

Saturday lunch and dinner also are available.

Events will be held at the Lipkin Theatre of the Bethlehem Township college. Tickets are $55 for an all-festival pass; $10-$40 for individual concerts and events. Info: http://www.storyfusion.org.
